      Hi,

      I have local business website "asapgaragedoorrepair.com" which im seeing weird ranking issues during last few months . i would like to share it with you guys and get help from you.

      first days i have indexed the website ,it was ranking good with google and then after 2-3 weeks i have noticed that none of the pages ranking anymore. i have looked for any issues in the optimization and i fixed them and indexed again.

      right now i have weird issues.

      1- the website was ranking for another page in my website other that the one that i wanted for keyword" Garage Door Repair Pasadena " .(it was ranking with garage door installation page). i changed the content ,optimization on the other page and indexed. still the same issue. then i had no ways other that 301 to the right page .

      2- when i check the rankings with "ahrefs" website or "Moz" or other tools that i have, it shows that im ranking for 16th position for " Garage door repair Pasadena ". but when i search it by myself im getting no results. (this is bothering) maybe i dont know something . pls help me

      3- in Moz or ahref website shows the ranking like the image i have attached. 2 different results for each keywords. why is that? and why i can not see them when i search them by my self?

        Every search results is completely independent of other one, so depends mostly of the user > Device, Operating System, Google ID, Language and so on.

        So the best source of information to really know how is performing your website is search console / webmaster tools go to your dashboard > search traffic > search analitycs

        Then you will have all keywords, clicks and position.

        Using semrush,I get this results for your website

        garage door repair pasadena
        Position > 26
        Volumen >110
        Difficulty > 42.59

        garage door repair pasadena ca
        Position > 31
        Volumen > 210
        Difficulty > 44.41

        So this are 2 keywords with low difficulty and are your best keywords

        but this are your competitors all are the first page even when they dont have schemas like you

        • garagedoorrepairpasadenacal.com
        • precisiondoor.net
        • www.weyngaragedoorca.com

        The secret my friend are the backlinks
        you have just 5 backlinks at lest is what semrush shows me
        Referring Domains 3
        Total Backlinks 5
        Referring IPs 3

        garagedoorrepairpasadenacal.com > 85
        precisiondoor.net > 3100
        www.weyngaragedoorca.com > information not available

        Some anchor text used in the backlinks
        able garage door repair pasadena
        garage door repair pasadena cal
        garage door spring pasadena
        local garage door repair pasadena

        So your first step is validate your information go to your search console and download the reports.

        Then with this information you can start to play, and create a plan.

        So my suggestion is, forget the onpage optimization and start to work in the authority of your website and your backlinks

        Bets Regards

          Also you should consider some
          Opt-in option in your website to create leads (popup with "get your free consultation" or Discount just today) to main goal will be optimize your conversion rate, remember is better optimize the traffic that you already have instead of reach new traffic (also is better for your SEO.

            Thanks Roman,

            I have already focused on backlinks but its gonna take more time to index some of them.

            regarding the ranking , my problem is exactly why i can not see those rankings? for exaple you said SEMRUSH shows the 26th position. but i can never find it when i search it.

            even on the search console is the same.
